I've recently re-installed RF 9.5 successfully and retained most of my add-on aircraft and airfields. Everything was working perfectly until today, after a couple of weeks not being used. Clicking on the Launcher Ikon gives an error KEError 21017 plus a message that 'The launcher will not be...

Thanks. I'll download them all :) Geoff PS The Tiggie in add-on Volume 5 is G-ACDC which is the one I've modelled (I'm DH fan). As it's electric (on 4S LiPo) I thought it an appropriate registration :)

I just wondered if there is a simulation for either of these aircraft? I've tried the search function with no success as well as ploughing through the lists. Similarly, I haven't found a Hawker Hurricane or, better, a Fury. thanks Geoff btw my avatar is my 58" ws electric Gypsy Moth, hence...

There's a Stearman here.

It's quite common with 2.4gHz transmitter/receivers for communication errors when too close. It's a bit unnerving at first when you're setting up a model but that's the only time you get that close (hopefully!) when actually flying. In the case of Frsky kit it's usually a loss of telemetry...

I've been experimenting with rearward CoG just to get the hang of it as well as to see how sensitive the Sopwith Pup is to balance. I have a 1:5.5 scale model of one to maiden once we're out of lockdown (it's about 10 months since I finished it). I've just about filled the cowl with what seems...

I look forward to your update. I use this field in preference to all the others (at least for now). Now I'm aware of the altitude issue, it isn't a problem. I was merely puzzled and wondered if there was a way of calibration I hadn't noticed. What I did notice was the little bump as I taxied...

I did wonder if it would be addressed in the latest update which I downloaded earlier today but evidently not. It doesn't bother me too much now I'm aware of it (I use that field a lot) but I did lose a few expensive aeroplanes completing a loop 2 metres below the ground :p

Just please try and make sure that ground level is actually ground level unlike the RF simulation of the AMA Flying site 3 which has an aircraft on the ground registering as being 11 metres (35') above the runway. It's most confusing if, like me, you have the Nav Guide display enabled :)

Thanks Technoid. That's a great help. The 'real' Limbo Dancer' is 50" ws so I assume it's your sim that's 82". The one in the picture was powered with an MDS 38, probably one of the few MDS engines that were reasonable. I replaced it eventually with a Super Tigre 34 which was better and the...

I've been searching for a Limbo Dancer fun fly simulation but haven't been able to find it (there's a lot of aeroplanes but no search function :) ) I found a thread started by Technoid in 2016 but no link to the simulation itself. I have (or, more accurately 'had' - now I have just the wing) a...

I suppose you can set up expo on your non-Spektrum transmitter because RF 9.5 wouldn't know if the rate of stick movement it's seeing is caused by the operators stick movement or the electronics in the transmitter. I don't have proper control of my right hand because of a spinal injury (why I...

If you have 2 aileron servos then why not use 2 channels? I don't speak Spektrum either - just Multiplex and, now, OpenTx via Frsky usually. Both systems offer 100% flexibility to the user to specify any servo to any channel or mix. All the real life models I build have separate aileron servos...

Thanks, Legoman. It's an excellent simulation.

I agree, the Skyraider is very enjoyable sim to fly. Not quite worked out all the mixes (the cockpit seems to be open or shut at random - I'm sure it's not) and the mix between the bomb and the guns is a bit strange but the main flying controls (which I'm most interested in) are fine. There's...
